Exit the Mountains Songtext
von Casablanca

Act I – In Between Spaces

Well I′m no sweet pretender
Don't promise you anything (anything)
But I′m the legal tender
I'll try and get you everything

We took the blues to the stations
And the doorways and said
Nothin' shall pass less it′s dead
But the lights in the distance means
Good times up ahead
So we taxed them for terror instead

We′re not the first or the last ones to go
Between the spaces that we know

Made by desolation
Under banners of reality (reality)
Scattered in the madness
On the windmills of eternity


We took the blues to the stations
And the doorways and said
Nothin' shall pass less it′s dead
The lights in the distance means
Good times up ahead
So we taxed them for terror instead

The old ones are
The old ones were
The old ones go
Between the space that we know
Well it's a starry dynamo
It′s the place we have to go
Between the spaces that we know

Between the spaces that we know
Well it's a starry dynamo
And it′s the place we have to go
Between the spaces that we know

Act II – Armies of the night


We're standing in shadows
We're standing in line
We′re standing together
And I swear we′ll have a good time
We'll be here tomorrow
We won′t be denied
Skin allegiance brings sorry
To warmongers from the other side

And we toast to the living
And for those whose about to fight
You might not be forgiven
When you march in the armies of the night
To have carried the fire
To have entered the light
To have joined the resistance
Got in line in the armies of the night

Come on march in the armies of the night

All you young lovers
Who's sacred and blue
Despond all the chances you blew
Start climbing the mountains
In cyanide sunsets
And find that the legends were true
When nothing is left and nobody hears
The echoes of our battling years
Might still be some fury
In those whose goes down
The mysterious river of tears

And we toast to the living
And for those whose about to fight
You will not be forgiven
When you march in the armies of the night
To have carried the fire
To have entered the light
To have joined the resistance
Got in line in the armies of the night

So this is tomorrow
And this is our moment
All you decaying young women
Distorted young men of the torment
Come a little bit closer
Come on up for the sundown
Guess that we all have to wait for a friend
And in the end we don′t have to pretend
So come on my avengers
Tonight we are scavengers

We're here at the end now
This is no way to die
And no way to go now
So farewell it′s just a goodbye

And we toast to the living
And for those whose about to fight
You might not be forgiven
When you march in the armies of the night
To have carried the fire
To have entered the light
To have joined the resistance
Got in line in the armies of the night

Come and march with the armies of the night
Come and march with the armies of the night

Act III – 1789

How many mountains do you want me to climb?
How many levels above the dreamline?
Tonight we party like it's 1789

How many mountains do you want me to climb?
How many levels above the dreamline?
Tonight we party like it's 1789
